Try using the /e modifier. What it does is make the second half of the regex executed as code. In your case you'd want something like this:
$str = "(<ref links=\" cit314-1 cit314-2 cit314-3 cit314-4 cit314-5\"/
+>)";
if( $str =~ s/<ref links="(.*?)"(.*?)\/>/
"<ref links=\"$1\"$2>" . getString($1) . "<\/ref>"/e ){
print "Match was found." . "\n";
}
print $str . "\n";
sub getString($s){
my $s = shift;
...more processing of $s...
return $s;
}
Your $str changed from your previous posts, so I changed it back to the way it was in the other posts. Notice how I quoted the tags and concatenated them with the return value from the subroutine. I also did some extra formatting. Hope this helps. elusion : http://matt.diephouse.com

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
